This yarn wants to move! All through spinning it, I had images in my mind of a glittering calm sea, sunkissed and whisked gently into white tips by a breeze, lapping along a bleached sandy beach. Then I remembered where I had seen just such a beach; on a visit to St Ives in Cornwall in the far west of England, and that is the inspiration for the name of this gorgeously sensual yarn. The colours in the photo really don't do this yarn justice, it is more greeny-blue than it looks.
There is enough here to make a beautiful shawl, and the yarn tells me that is what it craves to be. Add a few beads for extra sparkles and weight, and the drape of this knitted fabric is awesome. May I suggest a pattern with scallop edges or lace fans to really show off the gentle pastel colour variations.

Handspun in the Cotswolds. Amount: not less than 848 yards (in various skeins from the same dye lot). Knits to roughly 3 ply / laceweight. If you wish to purchase less than the full amount, please contact me to discuss your requirements.
Soy silk is a by-product of the soya bean harvest. This soy fibre was dyed by Expression Fibre Arts in America, and handspun by me here in England - where will it travel to next?
As is often the case, monitor and digital colours may vary. This yarn is a pale blue-grey with pale green highlights.
Designed by Silva in Cotswolds, england
